Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today. Andy and Greg dive into the law, congressional politics, and how the presidential campaign and the NFL might intersect this year.
First, Andy analyzes Special Counsel Robert Hur’s Tuesday testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. He explains why Adam Schiff was dead wrong to suggest Hur was playing politics by discussing Biden’s faulty memory in his report on Biden’s mishandling of classified information. He also dismisses Rep. Jayapal and others for wrongly insisting that the Hur report “exonerates” Biden, noting the facts of the report and that it’s not the job of a prosecutor to exonerate anyone.
But in reflecting on questions from the GOP side and the report itself, Andy outlines why he thinks Hur’s ultimate conclusions were wrong.
Next, they react to Colorado Rep. Ken Buck announcing his impending resignation from the House of Representatives. The move will leave the GOP with an even slimmer 218-213 margin with four special elections still to come. Andy suggests this move is quite telling about the battle for the future of the Republican Party.
Finally, they get a kick out of reports that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is speaking “pretty continuously” with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers about Rodgers serving as Kennedy’s running mate for his independent presidential bid.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim and provides a wealth of historical and first-hand context to our three topics today.
First, Andy and Greg assess Special Counsel Robert Hur’s testimony surrounding the timeline confusion in Biden’s testimony over allegations that he mishandled classified information. Hur’s testimony puts the lie to Biden’s angry denunciation that he was asked when his son died. Instead, Biden volunteered it and got it wrong.
Andy also points out that Biden was found to be mishandling sensitive information for decades, including his time in the Senate. And he explains why Biden being in possession of classified info from his Senate days proves that Biden – and not his staff – is responsible for him having those documents. He also provides critical background information into another notorious example of a Democrat being caught red-handed illegally taking classified information.
Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray confirms in Senate testimony that the bureau is actively investigating allegations that human smugglers with ties to ISIS are actively moving people at our southern border. Andy says this should come as no surprise and he shares the stunning immigration enforcement incompetence that allowed the terrorist mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to enter the U.S. illegally – even after being directly linked to a high-profile assassination overseas.
Finally, they zero in on California Rep. Adam Schiff suggesting that Donald Trump should received “dumbed down” intelligence reports as the GOP presidential nominee because of the classified charges pending against him. Andy says this would not be the first time the intel community played favorites in a presidential election involving Trump, and he recalls why Schiff is the least credible advocate for this argument against the former president.

It’s nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch!
First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state’s supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.
Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI (“Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion”) programs and personnel. It’s not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.
Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

Jim and Greg serve up a clarifying good martini plus conventional bad and crazy ones to wind up the week.
First, they offer a timely reminder of Biden’s promises from 2020 on border security, sanctuary cities, and who ought to be deported. The comments explain why we saw the border crisis explode on his watch and suggest his recent get tough approach is only a political maneuver.
They also cringe as stellar national security reporter Catherine Herridge is ordered to pay fines of $800 per day for refusing to divulge her sources on a story connection a U.S.-based scientist with the Chinese Communist Party.
Finally, they groan in reaction to the race already beginning to replace Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, even though the conference elections aren’t until November, we have no idea how many Republicans will be in the Senate, and how many current ones will still be there.

Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual good, bad, and crazy martinis and head into the weekend!
First, they welcome the decision from a New York appeals court that New York City’s efforts to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections is unconstitutional. Limiting voting to citizens is a no-brainer but Jim fears this issue will eventually wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Next, they react to the news that CBS not only laid off stellar reporter Catherine Herridge but seized her files, computers, and records, including information about confidential sources. Even SAG-AFTRA is denouncing CBS in very strong terms. Just how big of a threat is this to the freedom of the press?
Finally, they shake their heads as former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (who is now an MSNBC contributor) blasts the New York Times for fact-checking President Biden because she thinks they aren’t aggressive enough in calling out Donald Trump’s falsehoods. This feeds into the maddening view of some on the left who genuinely see the role the media as doing everything it can to help Biden and defeat Trump.

Listen to “Joe Biden’s Damage Control Disaster” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they break down many aspects of what may be one of the most damaging days to Joe Biden’s presidency.
First, they begin with the news that Special Counsel Robert Hur is recommending no charges against Biden despite his conclusion that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified material.” But Biden’s day got much worse very fast when Hur said one of the reasons there would be no charges is because a jury would likely see Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” who could not remember when exactly he was vice president or when his son, Beau, died. That left the Biden team crowing about the absence of charges but denouncing one the of the key arguments about why there should be no charges.
Then they break down the disastrous Biden press conference, in which he denied disclosing any classified material, blamed any improper storage of classified documents on his staff, and then wrongly said Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was president of Mexico instead of Egypt.
Finally, they shake their heads at assertions that the reporters at the press conference were behaving in an “awful” and “revolting” manner and wonder what Biden’s communications team was thinking setting up this press conference in the first place.
